Hung some new brakes on my 308,000 mile 3.sl0w Ranger:
Rear drums were worn out and the front discs were getting there.
New (rebuilt) calipers and I also drained all the brake fluid, then bled all 4 corners.
Now when I press the brake pedal the truck slows down and stops!!! ....
Also fixed the leaky rear differential cover with a new Fel-Pro gasket, refilled with new 80W-90 gear oil + 1/2 a bottle of that nasty blue Motorcraft friction modifier.
Its a beater...but it's a WHOLE lot cheaper than a $40,000+ 2018 F150!
New Ranger does nothing for me....myeh.....looks like a Terdyota.
